comic.\u00c2\u00a0 Granted, such a thing would probably not be considered essential by a lot of people, but those are stupid people who have no appreciation for Double Cross and his assorted other comics.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, it&#8217;s quite possible that I just called you stupid, and if you took the time to read a few of his comics you might just grudgingly agree with me, before becoming a convert.\u00c2\u00a0 The story here is fairly simple: Tony has his day start off with some jerk on the train spilling coffee on him (so he&#8217;s going to smell like coffee all day), and is already in a lousy mood when he gets to work.\u00c2\u00a0 When he arrives Chris (who he has a serious and obvious crush on) berates him for being late, he is told that he has to wear a hat with a salami on top of it and then the real fun begins: the store opens.\u00c2\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve ever ordered meat from a deli counter you probably already have had a glimpse of the rampant stupidity of some people, but Tony lays it out in gory detail.\u00c2\u00a0 There is also the small matter of somebody stealing money from a register running throughout the story, and the small matter of Tony trying to talk Chris into going out with him.\u00c2\u00a0 While it&#8217;s not my place to say it, if you were out there hoping for the Double Cross experience, this is the perfect issue to get it.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s the size of two minis, so Tony really gets a chance to tell a great story and it&#8217;s a damned near perfect &#8220;day in the life&#8221; comic.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know if these are available anywhere, but they damned well should be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/12\/doublecross122.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"doublecross122\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/12\/doublecross122.jpg\" alt=\"doublecross122\" width=\"422\" height=\"659\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Double Cross #12 Wasn&#8217;t this story collected in one his graphic novels?\u00c2\u00a0 It seems like I saw this after this comic came out back in 1997.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, if it wasn&#8217;t it should have been, as this is the essential &#8220;Tony working at the deli&#8221;
